The rooms are comfy and the beds are VERY COMFORTABLE. First floor rooms have a spectacular view and ingress/egress to the inner courtyard garden! The Crocodile Inn restaurant very cozy and ritzy, with holiday decor empathizing it. Holiday decor in the front check in lobby a premonition of coziness and relaxation to come. The hotel complex is also surrounded by lemon trees, NICE! Also, staff is friendly especially the restaurant team!

Child at the desk did not know where our room was, just shrugged. Said she was in high school so wasn’t familiar with the property or surrounding area. Wasn’t concerned with her lack of competency.

I reserved 2 nights through Expedia. However when I went to pay 3 days before the visit, the price for the 2nd night had doubled! And though the fridge in the room was promised, it was broken. We were not happy!
